Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has slammed Arvind Kejriwal and the authorities after tragic fire at hotel Arpit Palace in Karol Bagh claimed lives of 17 people. He took to Twitter after the city government announced Rs 5 lakh as compensation for families of deceased souls.
“Surely a human life is worth much more than INR 5 lakh Arvind Kejriwal. It underlines what our machinery thinks about us, d common man. Compensation is merely a bandaid on an oozing wound whereas Delhi needs surgeries and it should begin with a systemic overhaul.”

He slammed the regulators and even claimed the hotel is near Gautam Gambhir Foundation’s office and was aware about the rules and regulations being flouted for commercial interests.
It’s so sad to see the callousness of regulators with regards to building laws being traded with loss of human lives. This hotel is right next to the GGF office and I know first hand how parking rules, building laws are conveniently flouted for commercial interests. Disgusting https://t.co/DOGJyL6F7g

This is not the first time, Gambhir has taken on Delhi Chief Minister. However, his rant didn’t go down well with Twitterati, who lambasted him for unnecessarily blaming Kejriwal instead of BJP governed MCD.
Here are some of the tweets:
खुद को दिल्लीवासी बताते हो| लेकिन दिल्ली में कौन सा अधिकार किस संस्था के पास है,,,ये बिल्कुल पता नहीं| उन होटल के मालिकों को 4 मंजिल से अधिक मकान बनाने का ग़ैरकानूनी अधिकार दिल्ली नगर निगम ने दिया जिसमें बीजेपी का शासन है| लेकिन उसपर कुछ नहीं बोलोगे…

This jaitley lapdog never barks when something goes wrong at DDA or even from Center’s end. He finds AK an easy target for his cheap psycophancy
